The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (1/7 chapters)
The New Heroine Betrays Me
(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
“…I’m sorry. I still want to protect Lucio…!” (Florencia)
What I heard was Florencia’s voice as if squeezed out.
Ah, I see. I had been under this girl’s… no, this woman’s curse. And on top of that…
“D-damn you…!” (Monica)
Monica let out a frustrated, desperate voice. She too seemed to have received the same curse.
“Lucio, while I hold them off, you must run.” (Florencia)
“B-but…” (Lucio)
“Hurry! At this rate, you will surely be killed!” (Florencia)
“Ugh! A-alright! But if that’s the case, you’re coming with me!” (Lucio)
Ha, haha… What the hell is this. Is the heroine and the event boss from Enhaz seriously trying to elope together? There’s no way I would ever allow that!
“Xa… Xandraa!” (Harold)
Unable to move due to the curse, I screamed with all my strength. At the same time, intense pain surged through me, but I didn’t care. My beloved Xandra, the strongest heroine, would surely break through this situation. And the proof of that…
*Crash!*
“…So, you are the ones who did this to my dear Haru-sama!” (Alexandra)
With clear blue eyes now dyed in blood red, Xandra burst through the window. In her right hand, she carried Balmung, the weapon meant to strike down the two of them.
“Wha!? L-let’s go!” (Lucio)
“Ha, haha, yes!” (Florencia)
“You think I’ll let you escape!” (Alexandra)
Florencia and Lucio tried to rush out of the room. But there was no escaping from Xandra, whose [Dragon’s Favor] had activated and who was now on the verge of losing her reason. And then…
“Caught you.” (Alexandra)
“Eeek!?” (Florencia)
“Ah…!” (Lucio)
Xandra seized the two by their necks as they struggled. No one in this world could possibly match her physical strength. If she wanted to, she could easily snap their necks, but she didn’t. After all, curses placed on me and Monica. If those curses were linked to the caster’s death, we could die along with them. [Dragon’s Favor] was a double-edged sword that robbed Xandra of her reason. However, it still prioritized the one she loved, me, which allowed her to restrain herself.
“!? H-Haru-sama! I will help you now!” (Christia)
Christia sensed something was wrong and entered the room. She quickly deployed [Aegis Shield]. Thanks to that, the curse afflicting Monica and me was instantly nullified.
“Thank goodness… Then, I don’t need to hold back anymore.” (Alexandra)
“Ah… gah…!” (Florencia)
“Ugh, ngh…!” (Lucio)
With a smile so terrifying it could make even the Demon King flee barefoot, Xandra gripped them harder with both hands. Florencia and Lucio flailed their limbs, groaning and foaming at the mouth. However…
“Xandra, don’t kill them.” (Harold)
“Haru-sama, but…” (Alexandra)
“I’m not sparing them out of mercy. I intend to make them pay accordingly for what they’ve done. After all, these two hurt something precious to me.” (Harold)
That’s right. Florencia didn’t just curse me. She cursed Monica too. I’ll never forgive her. Even if one of the heroines from Enhaz disappears before the main story begins, I don’t care.
“…Be grateful to Haru-sama.” (Alexandra)
“Gyaa!? Cough! Cough!” (Florencia)
“Guh… grrr…!” (Lucio)
Xandra carelessly tossed them away. Florencia screamed and coughed violently, while Lucio groaned. Due to the range of Christia’s [Aegis Shield], they couldn’t activate the curse anymore.
I would throw them into a cell under Layla’s supervision and report their actions to the Istania Kingdom for punishment. The Istania Kingdom would surely abandon the two of them for what they had done.
“Now, let’s escort the two of them to the royal palace.” (Harold)
“Understood. I will arrange for a carriage immediately…” (Monica)
“No, I’ll do it. You were cursed too, so you should rest.” (Harold)
“If you say that, then, Your Highness Harold should rest as well. Besides, this is the duty of a dedicated maid like me.” (Monica)
Though I spoke out of concern for Monica, she wouldn’t back down.
Sigh… Well, I guess it can’t be helped.
“Alright. Then, I’ll leave it to you. But just to be safe, go with Liz.” (Harold)
“Huh? Me?” (Lizette)
“Yes. We’re within Christia-san’s [Aegis Shield] right now, but if you step out of its range, the curse might activate again. But with Liz there, she can dispel it immediately.” (Harold)
“I-I see. If that’s the case, then…” (Lizette)
“Understood. I will summon the carriage with Your Highness Lizette.” (Monica)
Monica bowed respectfully and left the room with Liz. All that remained was to call Layla, who was waiting outside, and head to the palace together.
Wait a sec.
“Hey Lucio, what are you—!?” (Harold)
“Florencia! Ruuun!” (Lucio)
Lucio shouted as he smashed a gem pulled from his pocket onto the floor.
“You… What did you do!” (Harold)
“Haru-dono! That!” (Carla)
“!?” (Harold)
Carla pointed to the night sky, where a massive magic circle had suddenly appeared. From it, something slowly descended. That was…
“A… Azi Dahaka…!?” (Harold)
The worst raid boss from Engage Hazard, the evil dragon Azi Dahaka.
